Fissure Sealants - Shen Dental Clinic Vancouver

Fissure Sealants at Shen Dental in Vancouver

Fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment designed to protect young permanent teeth from decay. These teeth are particularly vulnerable to cavities, especially in deep grooves or fissures. Fissure sealants are a non-toxic varnish that bonds to the grooves of the teeth, sealing them and providing long-lasting protection against decay.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Initial Consultation:
    • Dr. Fisher will examine your child’s teeth to determine if fissure sealants are needed, especially on newly erupted permanent molars.
  • Application of the Sealant:
    • The procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive.
    • The tooth is cleaned, and a special gel is applied to prepare the surface for bonding.
    • The sealant is then painted onto the grooves of the tooth and hardened with a light.
  • Follow-up Care:
    • No special care is needed after the application. Your child can resume eating and drinking immediately.
